CONTENT WARNING: harrowing Al Jazeera video exposes horrific scene of slaughter
A video released by Al Jazeera shows the bodies of women and children ‘piled up’ in a school near Jabalia in northern Gaza, where they had been shot at point blank range by Israeli soldiers who witnesses say had already executed the men sheltering with them.
Human rights watchdog Euro Med Monitor has also reported ‘executions’ by occupation troops:
Well over 66,000 parliamentarians, civil society figures and others from around the world have today called on the International Criminal Court to launch a formal war crimes prosecution against Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, his cabinet and others responsible for the growing list of murders and atrocities in Gaza.

Is the war going badly for Israel or something?
It would be interesting to know whether this came before or after the killing of 9 Israeli soldiers (reportedly) in an ambush. Could be retribution for that?
Just mentioned this on the previous thread

Also…
Something I didn’t notice this morning when I first watched the clip; there are no bullet holes in the walls, nor is there any blood trails – giving credence to claims those poor souls were shot at point-blank range, or at least targeted individually rather than indiscriminately and at range then dragged and dumped to where they lay.
And they call the Palestinians ‘animals’ 😕
“Insufficient Evidence”.
Video footage aired by Al Jazeer English shows numerous covered bodies piled in a school classroom.
“The Israeli soldiers came in and opened fire on them,” one witness said. “They took all men, then entered classrooms and opened fire on a woman and all the children with her,” including “newborn children.”
“The Israeli soldiers executed those innocent families point-blank,” she added.
A man who arrived at the scene after the alleged mass murder told Al Jazeera that “we found dozens of dead bodies in the classrooms.”
“There is no sign of any missiles or shells,” he added. “All those who were in the buildings were executed from point-blank. The Israeli soldiers opened fire on them. Many families came searching for their children. They found them all killed. They were all killed, executed at gunpoint.”
The alleged massacre had not been independently verified or reported by the MSM, who are necessarily ignoring the report allowing Sir Keir Rodney Starmer to not be called-on to cite “insufficient evidence” as he had in 2009 as DPP in a paedo case against Jimmy Saville.
“and others responsible for the growing list of murders and atrocities in Gaza.”
Quite.
The ICC Rome Statute is clear on the aiding and abetting of war crimes:
“Article 25 Individual criminal responsibility:
1. The Court shall have jurisdiction over natural persons pursuant to this Statute.
2. A person who commits a crime within the jurisdiction of the Court shall be individually responsible and liable for punishment in accordance with this Statute.
3. In accordance with this Statute, a person shall be criminally responsible and liable for punishment for a crime within the jurisdiction of the Court if that person:
(a) Commits such a crime, whether as an individual, jointly with another or through another person, regardless of whether that other person is criminally responsible;
(b) Orders, solicits or induces the commission of such a crime which in fact occurs or is attempted;
(c) For the purpose of facilitating the commission of such a crime, aids, abets or otherwise assists in its commission or its attempted commission, including providing the means for its commission;
(d) In any other way contributes to the commission or attempted commission of such a crime by a group of persons acting with a common purpose. Such contribution shall be intentional and shall either:
(i) Be made with the aim of furthering the criminal activity or criminal purpose of the group, where such activity or purpose involves the commission of a crime within the jurisdiction of the Court; or
(ii) Be made in the knowledge of the intention of the group to commit the crime;
(e) In respect of the crime of genocide, directly and publicly incites others to commit genocide;
(f) Attempts to commit such a crime by taking action that commences its execution by means of a substantial step, but the crime does not occur because of circumstances independent of the person’s intentions. However, a person who abandons the effort to commit the crime or otherwise prevents the completion of the crime shall not be liable for punishment under this Statute for the attempt to commit that crime if that person completely and voluntarily gave up the criminal purpose.”

Those States, the individual decision makers and direct/indirect actors at every single level involved in supplying munitions and other material aid; the civilian and military personnel rendering on the ground assistance, training, advice etc in support of those war crimes; the politicians of all political parties and Government personnel instigating the economic, material and ‘moral’ support for those war crimes; and last, but not least, all those media propagandists who have lied, misled, and provided political, ‘moral’ and other support for these war crimes need to be indicted and in the dock.
Israeli casualties are very high they don’t want you to know that over 2/3 thousands soldiers have been injured or killed that’s why they are resorting to indiscriminately killing children because they think the palestiniens will turn on Hamas
‘Friendly-fire’? The MSM is claiming it’s happening mostly in the Occupied West Bank, and that it’s only about 1-in-5 of total IDF deaths.
As with “apocalypse virus” deaths, it just doesn’t tally.
Israeli media says that 5000 soldiers have been injured with loss of limbs and eye sight 444+ have been killed and counting
Every HOUR in Gaza:
15 people are killed – 6 are children
35 people are injured
42 bombs are dropped*
12 buildings are destroyed
*Based on the first six days of the war, according to the Israeli army
